Excel Sheet to Design RC Column for Axial load According ACI
Design of columns are carried over a group of columns having a low variation of design values. In this group, design is carried for the highest values of axial force, moments about Y and Z directions, shear about Y and Z directions as well as torsion. However, it is a common practice among designers to ignore shear and torsion in columns. This practice will reduce safety factor in columns which are critical structural members responsible for the safety of the structure.
